Every once in a while i come across websites that hide their extensions, and have 'different' ways of expressing parameters to a URL than what i'm used to. E.g. "www.somedomain.com/38896O51d93b015ef98a0b/play?g=1668370" or "www.somedomain.com/iyt.dll?a?s=1&g=15300019557591&m=13"
First question: Is the purpose of this to help prevent hacking? That is if the hacker doesn't know what technology is being used it is harder to hack?!!? Or is there another reason?
Second question: How can i do this?

For both personal reasons and security through obscurity...whatever works right

You probably have to change some config settings for your web server and scripting language.

They do this because the page (or file) you are looking for is in a database.
And in the case of music, many sites do that to prevent you from illegally downloading the music.
So to answer your question, yes it is sometimes done to make it harder for hackers. And sometimes, it's just because their page is dynamically created from a database.

Does anyone know where I can find a good Download Counter CGI program, or perhaps let me know where this code is going wrong? I'm just looking for a counter that counts the number of times a link has been hit. This code runs the counter fine, but it doesn't run the link.
<br />
#!/usr/bin/perl<br />
$counterfiledir = "/usr/home/monksonline/htdocs/Chris/GameOn!/";<br />
$downloaddir = "http://www.monksonline.org/Chris/GameOn!/";<br />
<br />
# Get the form variables<br />
if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq 'GET')<br />
{<br />
$querystring = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
read(STDIN, $querystring, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});<br />
}<br />
@arrnameval = split(/&/, $querystring);<br />
foreach $namval (@arrnameval)<br />
{<br />
($nam, $val) = split(/=/, $namval);<br />
# replace + with space<br />
$val =~ tr/+/ /;<br />
# translate hex values<br />
$val =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;<br />
$FORMDATA{$nam} = $val;<br />
}<br />
<br />
$download = $FORMDATA{'download'};<br />
<br />
# Read email content<br />
open(COUNTER,"$counterfiledir"."$download.txt");<br />
$countercontent = <COUNTER>;<br />
close(COUNTER);<br />
if ($countercontent eq '')<br />
{<br />
$countercontent = 0;<br />
}<br />
++$countercontent;<br />
<br />
#Save back new content<br />
open(COUNTER,">$counterfiledir"."$download.txt");<br />
print COUNTER "$countercontent";<br />
close(COUNTER);<br />
<br />
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";<br />
$downloadfile = "$downloaddir"."$download\n\n";<br />
print qq(Location: $downloadfile);<br />
I guess can anyone tell me why the counter works but it doesn't open a Save Dialog box for the zip file or is there a better download counter out there?
Thanks!

I'm having a problem and being that I'm very new to Javascript I need to ask for help. I wrote a script to grab the time, grab the time and display it in a text box with an onclick command. Ok thaty part was easy but here's the problem. I need to display the time twice but it needs to be different. I'm using the first .js to load the start time of a project and the second one to populate the stop time. The issue is Date()lets a value on load and I can't figure out how to refresh Date()so the end time is different than the start time.
--Tabate

Each time you create a date object it should be populated
with the current system time.
var startdate = new Date();
var stopdate = new Date();
These will both have different times etc.

I am writing a perl script that uploads a file and then I want to verify the file and store it in a database.
What I am insteresting in doing is:
UploadFile {
#code already written
}
VerifyFile{
#code already written
}
StoreFile {
#code already written
}
Main: {
&UploadFile();
Push an html page --- This is what I don't know how to do??????
&VerifyFile();
Push an html page --- This is what I don't know how to do??????
&StoreFile();
Push an html page --- This is what I don't know how to do??????
}
Any ideas using perl and apache how I can call a function, let it run, push an html page and then call another file>

Is there a way (without the use of javascript) to have a form with two different actions, depending on which button is pressed? It'd be great if I could get some help. Thanks!

The last stat I read (I believe it was w3c actually said only 2% of people don't have javascript enabled)
That being said...the javascript required for what you want to accomplish would likely be 100% browser compatible...with any real browser.
Other than using javascript...I can't see that as being possible...perhaps embedding a form inside another form...but that would cause your submit buttons to probably be one on top of the other(no side by side, unless you position absolute or something)...and it might break xhtml compliance...i'm not sure...
Cheers

I would use Javascript, but since I'm making the website for someone else.. I have to abide by his wants and needs. It's retarded, but hey.

I was needing to know how to raise a javascript event like window.open after the code in the c# code behind file runs. The Jscript will be calling on data that the code behind will manipulate first. Can this be done and how?
Thank you,

Have you thought about returning a script block back to the page after the postback? That is, you can send a block of script by using Response.Write in your code behind when you are finished so that it will trigger on the click. Just be sure to leave make the script you pump back to trigger the event as global and not bound in a javascript function (it can call a function but if you want it to execute, you need code outside the function to call it).

Hi there,
got a question.
When entering the windowsupdate, and choose to install, you'll get a webpagedialog box to pop out, and shows you how much is left of the retrieval of the update component...
how do i make a dialog box inside my IE, so that it doesn't show up as a new instance of IE.
catch my drift?

“The request failed with HTTP status 403: Access Forbidden” and/or “HTTP 403.9 - Access Forbidden: Too many users are connected”.
In debugging web services I frequently run into these two problems which, presumably, amount to the same thing. There is loads of stuff on the net about this and the bottom line seems to be that I need to up the number of connections on my site. This, I am informed, is done from the Connections Tab on Internet Service Manager which can, apparently, be got at via the MMC. Fine … but I don’t see it. I am running XP Pro, I have IIS installed (and running fine in other respects), Snap-ins is checked on the IIS installable options yet when I go to MMC I don’t see Internet Service Manager, as much of the stuff on the net suggests I should, and I don’t see it when I try to Add Snap-ins either.
Am I blind, stupid, or is there something else I should know?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Oops ... found the answer, and it is not a good one. From Microsoft support ... "403.9 - Too many users. The number of users who are connected to the server exceeds the connection limit that you have set. For additional information about how to change this limit, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
248074 Error Message: Access Forbidden: Too Many Users Are Connected 403.9
NOTE: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional and Microsoft Windows XP Professional automatically impose a 10-connection limit on IIS. You cannot change this limit."

I am writing a script to use the Content-Type: application\/force-download to download a file to an end-user.
My script is working and I can download the file but in the "Save As" dialog box there are the following fields:
"File Name:"
"File Type:"
"From"
How do I supply those fields to the browser?
Also is there a want to suggest what the name of the saved file should be.
Thank you, in advance.

This is what I used recently when I had to dump a text file to the user and have them download it instead of display it:
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=Test.txt");
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", s.Length.ToString());
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
Response.Write(s);
Response.End();

Thanks Rocky but I already can have the file download. What I am looking for is how to fill in the "Save As" Dialog box fields.

That is what I give you. Using that code it will (at least it does on my system) fill in the file type, filename and the "From" comes from the domain name.
